#140 Glenn Beauchamp - 30 Years of Recruitment Secrets: How to Read People & Hire Better
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
Three decades in recruitment. Hundreds of deals. One conversation you won't forget.
Glenn Beauchamp has spent nearly 30 years placing people in Perth's tech industry. In this episode, he reveals the nonverbal tells most people miss, the one travel question he asks every candidate that has nothing to do with holidays, and where hiring goes wrong before it even starts.
If you've ever hired on good vibes and regretted it, Glenn breaks down the three things every business owner needs to get right, from role clarity to the counterfactual most people skip to the onboarding window that makes or breaks a new hire.
He also opens up about imposter syndrome, why being nice has cost him, and what changed when he stopped trying to run his business alone.
